EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician and philosopher who revolutionized the field of medicine. Believed to have lived between 460-370 BC, Hippocrates is widely regarded as the father of medicine due to his groundbreaking contributions and rational approach towards understanding diseases. In this beautifully colored illustration from a 19th-century book titled "Vies des Savants Illustres" we witness the essence of Hippocrates' wisdom and intellect. With his classical features, including a white beard that exudes wisdom acquired through years of study and experience, he personifies the epitome of knowledge in antiquity. Hippocrates founded a prestigious medical school on the enchanting Aegean island of Kos, where he imparted his invaluable teachings to aspiring physicians. Rejecting prevailing beliefs that attributed disease to divine intervention or supernatural forces, he advocated for a logical perspective rooted in physical phenomena. This artwork not only captures the historical significance but also pays homage to this remarkable individual whose influence has transcended time. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Hippocrates' enduring legacy as one who laid down the foundations for modern medicine and inspired countless generations with his unwavering commitment to scientific reasoning.
